If you enjoy tea...

...then you might enjoy this:) I stumbled across this one the blog Happiness Is... and I loved it so much I wanted to share. I'm not a tea drinker but my husband is. When I saw this I immedietly showed him. He loved it. And I wish I drank tea just so I could use these teabags.

Nathalia Ponomareva, an artist from Russia, designed the tea bags to expand into birds (very oragami like) when seeped in water. Brilliant! I tried to find more information about the designer, but no such luck. All the links google gave me were to blogs raving about this tea bag design:)

Happy News!

I am heading back to school in the Fall:) I've been out of school now for about a year, and I'm finally ready to go back. Because I had gone to a Christian school and had a major that won't transfer to a public college, I had to change my major. As much as I loved my old major I feel as if I'll like my new major even more. I have become an art major with an emphasis in photography. I am thrilled and beyond excited. I want summer to end right now so I can start. I can't wait to be learning more about photography, about studio photography, film, lighting, the dark room, using equipment in addition to my camera, more photoshop... Can't wait!

God is so good!

To celebrate here is one of my favorite bands:

Do a little dance for me:)

Moorea Seal.

We have a good friend Curtis who has started making beautiful necklaces with his lovely girlfriend Moorea Seal. Curtis works with the wood and Moorea does the rest. You can buy them at her Etsy shop. Here are some of my favorites:




Moorea is probably one of the most creative people I know. I'm pretty sure she does every type of art out there... Drawing, Watercolor, photography, music, etc. And every art she does, she does well. Here are some examples of her work:





Brilliant!

Postcard from William Schaff

William Schaff is an artist and musician from Rhode Island who's done the artwork for several indie bands, most notably Okkervil River and Godspeed You Black Emperor. Back in September, I donated some money to him because I was a fan of his art, which you can view here. If you're a fan, you should donate some as well, even if it's just $5. His embroidery and mail art are both pretty impressive. Anyways, as a thank you, he sent me the following hand made postcard. It was pretty cool to receive such a personal gesture from a successful artist.
